Non-Governmental Organisation, Dynamic United Stars Africa Foundation (DUSAF) and partners, has presented a cheque for GH¢ 20,000 to help a child undergo anal surgery at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
The child Saviour Deladem Norgbezi is said to have been born with a defect which prevents him from passing excreta normally.
Ms. Deborah Oduro, Founder of DUSAF with her team made the presentation to Deladem’s parents, in Accra, last Tuesday, to cover the cost of correcting the anomaly.
She said the amount which was raised in collaboration with sister NGOs (Wennett Hope Foundation, Standup UK, Concerned Heart Foundation and Associates Partners) formed part of DUSAF’s numerous initiatives to transform lives in communities.
“The first surgery was successfully carried out to create a normal defaecation path for baby Deladem. He is expected to undergo the second phase of the surgery to close the wound on his stomach where the doctors created a pouch to enable him excrete waste,” she said.
The Philanthropist was optimistic that the funds would enable the child live a normal live after the surgeries had been performed successfully.
Emphasising the foundation’s commitment to supporting the needy, Ms Oduro said that Deladem’s parents would receive an undisclosed amount to enable them start a business and sustain the family, and expressed appreciation to donors and health workers at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
DUSAF has for the past seven years supported individuals and groups as well as helped restore hope to underprivileged persons across the country through periodic community outreach.
Recent projects embarked upon by the foundation include donation of cement bags for the construction of a health facility at Loum in the Eastern Region, support to Good Shepherd Orphanage, and free health screening and provision of food items to persons in less privileged communities during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Funding of Baby Deladem’s surgery was another feather in the cap of the benevolent organisation.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
